OBJECT TO SOCIAL DECLINE
Real Point of Importance When It
Comet to Question of "Reduced
Circumstances."
Nobody minds shortcomings no very
orach In themselves. If everybody

wouia not De bo nan. me tmng mat
In trying Is to have too ninny of the
jother people of one'e ((roup have a
great deal more than one has oneself,
writes Edwnrd & Mnrtln In Harper's.
; People do not very much mind re
duced circumstance If the reduction
Is not extreme, but they do mind com
In down In the social scale. They
like what they are used to, and they
like to maintain the relation to other
people that they are used to main
tain.
Now. the concern about other peo
ple and what they have and how they
'live can be diminished If there Is
strength of mind enough to control
jtt People, old or young, who have a
ufflelently strong Idea of life of their
jown, an idea detached from commodl
itles, a spiritualized Idea, can get along
.and keep their quality and live their
'life and grow In grace on something
mear to a mere provision of neces
jsarles. '. If life Is going to be spiritualized
so that people will care verymurh
less About material things, It will real
ly make much less difference to them
whether they are rich or poor, and
that will help the young people to get
married and mlse families. They will
do It If they have nothing worse to
fear than a pinch and a struggle, but
they may not do it If they see In 11

The Value of Reading.
"Road I Lincoln would have walked
miles for utint you have at your
door." So runs a line of free advice,
displayed for the benefit of the public
In a western town In the United States
concerning a public library. The truth
of the statement about Lincoln Is be
yond question. When one thinks ol
the availability of libraries to most
Americans of the present day, It wonli'
seem that there should be growing u
nn abundance of timber for the presl
dency. But more may be required ol
President today than ever before.--Chrlstlan
Science Monitor.

The Blair-Logan
Feud
By WILLIAM FALL
"It's In the Mood, I tell you, Floyd
Darrell. Get rid of It, Dy from It.
uvolJ It as you would a pestlfence. or
It will destroy youl 1 Md you Km
and at once anywhere, away .from
here, where you will meet your fate
If you remain."
It was a solemn, eventful moment
In the life of young Darrell, returned
after tunny yenrs to the wild, barren
district where he had been born. Near
by were the cindered ruins of an
old-time mansion; all about the little
dip In the landscape reared the grim,
rugged Tennessee mountains.
A grnnd old man with whitened hair,
once a powerful giant, and still having
a mighty frame and firmness and de
cision apparent In every lineament of
his bronzed, scarred face, hnd ad
dressed him Ogden Blair, mountain
eer, judge and political lender, the
sole survivor of the great Dlnlr-Lognn
feud that had entered many a bloody
page In the record of Dawson county.
"Come here," he wild, and he forc
ibly dragged his visitor by the arm
to the open doorway, and pointed an
impressive finger at Its rude Interior.
"You see that table, set for six? Al
ways so, and the four vacant chairs
we Join, my niece. Eugenia, and I. at
each meal, remind us of the stalwart,
noble sons who fought mid died sus
taining the Blair family honor. I am
the lust of my line. A month ago
Hunk Logan and his raiders burned
down the house. Later he sent word
that If I did not move he would end
the vendetta with me." Move!" cried
the old man till tils voice echoed ring
Ingly to the nearest towering hill.
"Why, my sons would arise from their
graves to curse me. If I gave up the
fight of fifty years In which never a
P. lair turned his back to a foe. Here
I live and. die. Hut you lad, I knew
and loved your father. He was a 'gun
man,' and his father before him. It
was born In them. Now, why have
you come back, to be tempted with
the sutue wild fever of strife that went
singing through the veins of the Dnr
rells for well nigh a century?"
"Why?" cried young Darrell, and
Indeed his glowing eye told of Intrepid
daring and courage. "For the sake of
Eugenia, whom I love, and next, to
share the perils of the man who wan
my father's best friend yourself."
"You must not stay I" remonstrat
ed the old man In. a troubled tone.
"Eugenia, too, mast go," added Blair,
as a girl with a wild rose face and a
form like a rare mountain sylph came
around the corner of the house, and
blushed and then smiled as she went
up to her loyal lover.
"I shall seek Hank Logan In the
morning." pronounced Darrell firmly.
"If I can buy my happiness and your
safety from him with money, he Is
welcome to the paltry dollars If not
then It must be the best and swift
est man," and the bund of the speak
er stole mechanically to the belt con
taining the familiar weapon of the d s
trlct. The girl listened with downcast ey-s.
but silent. She Blinply lifted her Up
to meet those of her lover as be turned
away, and stood waving her handker
chief at him until dlstunce and teur
blurred the landscape and a sight of
the man she might uwer see lu life
aguln. '
A solitary figure tolled up the steep
side of a wild mountain, passed the
tree, and crossed the dividing Hue of
the bad lands. It was Floyd Dar
rell. Twice during that morning a bullet
sped dangerously close to the head of
the persistent adventurer. Durrell
kept on his way until afternoon, when
he saw coming down a narrow gorge
path some horsemen. Swinging him
self down a network of vines to a
ledve, he crouched there.
The horsemen dashed by. About to
attempt to regain the cliff surface.
Durrell started as he heard a moan
beyond a light screen of greenery.
L'pvn a narrow shelf of stone lay a
little child. Just In time, Darrell
reached the little girl.
Two hours later a body of horsemen
came dashing towards him. He held
the child aloft as a slgnul of distress
a living flag of truce.
The moment the leader of the bond
neared him. Darrell knew that It was
bad Hank Logan. With a glad cry he
seized the child.
"And who are you?" he asked.
"I am Floyd Darrell," tame the
quiet reply.
Hank Logan lifted his gun. Across
Its stock were four nicks.
"The count's done!" he said, and
gave the deadly chronicle of doom for
the Bin Irs a fling Into the nearest gul
ly. "You've won. Tell Ogden
Blair I'll do the moving, and the feud
Is squared. Me and my men will be
over In Kentuck before another week
all because you risUed your lite for
my little girl."

Johnstone In the lead, is the feature;
for Sunday. The heroine takes the
part of Jennie Dark, a girl who adores
Joan of Arc and pretends to herself,
that she is a descendant of the same
French family from which the famous I
Maid of Orleans sprang. Howover,'
she is merely the humble little daugh
ter of a New York plain clothes police
man. The hero ia a young newspaper
cub.
About the only good feature of the

If all the mountains nnJ smaller

be as smooth as a billiard ball and
completely surrounded by an ocean
